About me

I graduated from Rowan University in NJ with a B.A. in Theatre Arts in May 2017. Although I studied theatre, I have pursued many interests and passions throughout my life. In elementary school, I was an A+ student, on every sports team, and attended to theatre camp every summer. Once I started high school, I developed a passion for fitness. I also continued to pursue theatre in school and at local theaters, while taking voice, acting, and dance classes. Currently, I am an actor, singer, online ESL teacher, babysitter, substitute teacher, and occasional dog walker! I genuinely love working with children of all ages, and enjoy when these experiences include family pets.

I am the youngest of three siblings, my favorite color is yellow, and I absolutely love makeup and trips to the beach.
As a child, I developed a great love of music! I would sit for hours in my bedroom listening to music while writing down the lyrics to my favorite songs. I was always interested in exploring various passions. I recall actively watching my older older sister do her makeup, challenging my older brother to video game matches and choreographing songs for my sister and I to "perform" during family holiday dinners. My uncle's favorite memory is from a Thanksgiving day when I was 6 years old. I was the only cousin who couldn't score a basket during our family basketball game. I stayed outside for hours that day (and didn't even stop to eat), absolutely determined to make a basket on my own. This memory exemplifies who I am as a person today!

I have been babysitting since I was in high school, continued through college, and hope to continue to be a sitter for many SmartSitting families! My experiences childcare have included working with children ranging from 3 months to 13 years old. I have the skills and experience necessary to engage with children of all ages in a safe and fun way. I look forward to meeting you and your family!
